Description

THIS PUT IN COMES AFTER SYCOLIN BRIDGE PUT IN, SO LOOK AT THAT FIRST:  Put in on Sycolin Creek just off of the equestrian trail on the W&OD trail.  Advantages:  Avoiding the reservoir paddle and path descending around the dam upstream.  Drawbacks:  Half-mile walk from parking up on Belmont Hill Road (on river right).  Another steep descent into Sycolin Creek just downstream / right of the bike trail.  Trail is paved, so roller wheels could help.  1.2 miles to Golfcourse Rapid.
